CPE Event Highlights
The Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) Model Act is a regulatory framework developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to promote effective risk management practices in the insurance industry. The purpose of the ORSA model is to help insurers identify, assess, and manage risks that may affect their solvency and financial condition.
The following content is within this CPE training event:
1. Risk Management Framework: ORSA requires insurers to establish and maintain a comprehensive risk management framework that identifies, assesses, and manages the insurer's risks.
2. Internal Control System: The insurer has to implement an effective internal control system that supports the risk management framework.
3. Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA): ORSA requires insurers to conduct an ORSA that evaluates the adequacy of the insurer's risk management practices and the sufficiency of its capital resources. The program should be integrated into the insurer's business planning and budgeting processes.
4. Board and Senior Management Oversight: The board of directors and senior management of the insurer are actively involved in the risk management and ORSA processes.
5. Reporting and Disclosure: ORSA requires insurers to provide regular reports to their board of directors and regulators on their risk management practices, internal control system, and ORSA.
